Nice review, could'nt do better myself... Though I HATE "best of"s and other similar craps, "Exposure : In Retrospect & Beyond" is worth every fn' dollar. Not sure if there is a review for this one (did'nt checked, anyway...) but it would be a great idea. Nice work on the review!

this album takes many listens to get accostumed to, or to get the point of it, if you only listen a few times you'll end up with ratings such as 3, its a complex album, and yeah I do kinda agree on more guitar solos,

All of their songs have lead parts in one form or another, often "solo" form, but they mix them really low...they don't really bring them out. Which I'm fine with...I think it adds more than it subtracts.

I forgot to add on my last post that although i find this album alright, Stanne's vocals are just great. Im very picky when it comes to growling and stuff, but theres just something about his voice...it really blends in well with the music...basically i really enjoy the vocals

Stanne is probably one of the best vocalists around today, I think. He's got a pretty standard melodeath voice, but something about it doesn't piss me off the way the gents from Arsis and At The Gates do. He also does it better than anyone else.

well, after listening to this about four times in a row on a bus ride to orlando, i felt it deserved a slightly higher score. i got around the fact that they dont solo often, and instead i really got into the other aspects, such as the vocals, and the great melodic choruses. good stuff.

Hmmm....so i was listening to this album again today, and i love it even more than i did before. I thought that the bass in Out of Nothing was pretty awesome This Message Edited On 05.31.06This Message Edited On 06.05.06
